You have done quite some work on the crypto front...cool! since you are the owner of cryptocipher and your new package cipher-aes: is cryptocipher now deprecated? the certificate library fits my needs perfectly! so my current setup includes: cipher-aes (AES), by Vincent Hanquez certificate (for X509 certificates), by Vincent Hanquez The RSA package (RSA public key crypto), by Adam Wick, depends on The crypto-pubkey-types package by Vincent Hanquez so let's just hope you stick around for some time Vince, my code now fully depends on you ;) On Friday, August 24, 2012 3:31:45 PM UTC+2, Vincent Hanquez wrote:

In my day job I currently need to deal with a lot of cryptographic
processing.
For the tests I need to perform various cryptographic functions in haskell. these include:
* AES Encryption/Decryption (CBC-Mode) * RSA Public Key Encryption/Decryption * Certificate Handling
I'm having some difficulties finding the libraries to use and using them correctly. Performance is /not/ my primary concern...rather *correctness* and*ease of use*.
Haskell has some great cryptographic libs but for me it seems hard to judge what to use. The ones that seem appropriate are:
* The AES package (for symmetric encryption) * The RSA package (for public key cryptography)
certificate handling is s.th. I haven't found out about
* how to deal with Certificates (e.g. extract the public key from X.509 certificates)
is there a recommended package (packages) that suite my purpose?
Hi,
[this is going to a be shameless self advertising reply :) ...]
for AES, i'ld recommend you to read a recent post of mine "building a better haskell aes" [1]. for RSA, to have something compatible my next suggestion for x509, you got either RSA or cryptocipher [2]. for X509, everything you need is available in the certificate package [3]
While you mentioned performance is not your primary concern, I found that even with medium use of crypto it becomes a significant bottleneck when using some well established implementations.
